Le mot d'adieu de Nezha :
"Dear colleagues, dear friends, and dear family,
"Dear colleagues, dear friends, and dear family,
After 30 wonderful years in the world of hospitality, the time has come for me to begin a “pre-retirement.” I say “pre” because, in hospitality, we all know that every check-out can always become a late check-out!
These years have been intense, exciting, sometimes exhausting, but above all deeply human.
As Winston Churchill once said:
“Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.”
In hospitality, we could add: “…and while keeping a smile, even when the guest calls reception at 2 a.m. because they cannot find the light switch!”
I would like to sincerely thank my mentors — those who taught me this profession with high standards, patience, and kindness. You passed on to me much more than skills; you passed on a true passion.
My heartfelt thanks also go to all my teams and colleagues, with whom I shared busy shifts, hotel openings, challenges, laughter, and sometimes far too many strong coffees.
A hotel never succeeds because of one person alone. It succeeds because of dedicated, discreet, hardworking, and passionate teams.
I also want to thank my family, who accepted my impossible schedules, missed weekends, holidays spent at the hotel instead of at home, and my famous words: “I’ll be home early tonight”… which often meant very late!
Your patience, understanding, and support have been my greatest strength.
Today, my greatest pride is seeing the people I had the privilege to guide at the beginning of their careers grow into successful professionals, respected leaders, and sometimes they even become my own inspiration. That is truly the greatest reward of this career.
As Nelson Mandela said:
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others.”
I leave this chapter with gratitude, unforgettable memories...
And more beautiful things to come ...
